$10,000? They'll have people buy the whole lot anyways. Buy NVDA
- samplatt 8y ago
  Yes, they will. Not even counting cryptomining, universities and big-businesses use NVidia-powered supercomputers with 5000+ $10k cards in them, for AI deep learning or for astrophysical modelling or other things. Previously those cards have been the ~$8k-$10k P100 or V100. Not any more.

    Interestingly, I game on a P1something, through AWS and parsecgaming.com — very cool tech, and actually worthwhile for me price wise as I don’t game often enough to invest a couple grand in a gaming PC.

    AWS and GCE as well, they can put them in their datacenters and run them 24/7, with their customers either renting it for a few minutes to hours for the odd task, researchers for hours / days to run a huge task, and the spot market making sure they never go unused. For them it's more of a matter of how much they're used in terms of % of time, and how much they can charge per compute hour. They can earn the investment back within a year.

I know meta comments are unwelcome but "nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/" is so egregious that it caught my eye. It looks like their entire website is a huge legacy mess. "news.nvidia.com" leads nowhere. "nvidia.com/news/" leads to "nvidia.com/content/redirects/news.asp" and produces "Corrupted Content Error" The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

  I suspect probably something like: spending money on website appears to do nothing to increase sales.

> Quadro RTX 5000 with 16GB memory: $2,300 ESP* For reference, I purchased my first 3D card from Evan's and Sutherland to run Softimage with 32MB Ram in ~1996 for $1,800.
- brodsky 8y ago
  i haven't done the math, but the 1996 $1800 seems like more money than 2018 $2300.
  - samstave 8y ago
    Apparently, 1996 $1800 = 2018 $2891... But the amount of actual capability one gets from one of these cards is thousands of times more than what one could do in 1996.

  I found an old Computer Shopper from the late 1990s and had forgotten how ridiculously expensive computer equipment was - the real sub-$1000 market wasn't even a thing for PCs until 1997, and the range between a sub-$1000 computer and an expensive one was astounding even for day-to-day tasks.

    My 386SX 20 MHz, 2MB RAM, 40 MB HDD bought in 1991, was about 1 500 euros in today's money.

    >the real sub-$1000 market wasn't even a thing for PCs until 1997 YES! I was at intel when they were doing the initial research to even see if a <$1,000 machine was feasible. With the celeron... and this is when they were literally paying millions to companies to optimize to the intel processors so they had software that would be subjectively digestible by the market to purchase software and machines thinking that they were getting compute power for their buck. /lawn.

rtx 5000 is actually not too expensive as comparing to the launch of Volta series.

I understand the technical novelty, but from a financial perspective for the NVIDIA company and the customers and data centers they pop these things in: is this a big deal? Is this just routine new cycle stuff that amazon and microsoft are going to buy en masse like they already would have no matter what Nvidia came out with? Or is this a big deal for reasons that you will explain and the stock market is going to go wild attempting to "price this in"?
